Wild Card: Danny – the Venezuelan-born Zenit St Petersburg midfielder could be a surprise package in a team with many well-known stars

Notable Absentee: Nani – the Manchester United winger joined Jose Bosingwa on the Portuguese injury list just days before the start of the tournament

Spain

Trump Card: Xavi – the strikers might be more attractive, but it is the Barcelona midfielder who does all the hard work

Wild Card: Sergio Busquets – another of those Barcelona midfielders to watch, he was impressive in last year’s Champions League Final, and is still only 21

Notable Absentee: Marcos Senna – a key player in Euro 2008, but omitted due to poor form this time round

Switzerland

Trump Card: Alexandre Frei – when the star striker limped off in the opening minutes of Euro 2008, chances of a home success in the tournament pretty much ended, highlighting his importance to the team

Wild Card: Xherdan Shaqiri – the 18 year old Basel winger was a shock inclusion, so it’ll be interesting to see if Ottmar Hitzfeld risks him

Notable Absentee: Marco Streller – the tall striker headed home early due to injury

Honduras

Trump Card: Wilson Palacios – the Spurs midfielder will be key to the Central Americans’ chances of progression

Wild Card: The whole team – again, no stand out names that could surprise, but progression isn’t out of the question

Notable Absentee: Carlo Costly – an important striker in qualification but out due to injury

Chile

Trump Card: Humberto Suazo – the Zaragoza striker is both one of the most experience Chileans in the side and also a dangerous threat

Wild Card: Alexis Sanchez – the highly-rated 21 year old Udinese attacker could be the about to launch himself onto the world stage
